MPD Daily Significant Calls 12/07/2018 to 12/08/2018

December 8, 2018 11:44 AM

The information contained in my blog is derived from notes provided by MPD Officers-In-Charge (OIC) at the end of their shifts. Most narratives represent early and preliminary information that was gathered by an OIC from those in the field who were actively working cases. The OIC is sharing what they were being told, in the moment. In many instances, facts and circumstances, even the type of crime listed, can change as officers, detectives and investigators continue their work.

To further break down the 492 calls for service for the past 24 hours this is how the calls came in per district: Central (90), East (99), Midtown (88), North (77), South (45), West (66), and Other (27). Other=these are calls for service that either do not have a sector listed or the sector is not in the City. For example, if one of our officers assists another law enforcement agency, their sector is not listed in our districts so therefore it is listed under "other."

1) WEST: Non-Residential Burglary – 7:38 a.m. Officers responded to the Jiffy Lube on Maple Valley Drive for a report of a burglary. The suspect forced entry into the business and stole cash. Suspect remains at-large and is unidentified. Investigation continuing.
